Abstract
Sleep is an integral part of good health. Sleep disorders and variations in sleep habits are associated with a low-
grade inflammatory status, which may be either a cause or consequence of other conditions, including obesity,
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Several strategies are available to counteract these conditions including
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), pharmacological and nutritional interventions, and even surgery. At
present, our group is investigating the effect of chronic endurance exercise on sleep alterations.
